Emergency airway management

Emergency airway management involves quickly securing a person's airway to ensure they can breathe properly when their normal breathing is blocked or compromised. This may include techniques like inserting a breathing tube through the mouth or nose, using devices to keep the airway open, or, in some cases, performing procedures like a cricothyrotomy to create a temporary airway. The goal is to provide immediate oxygen to prevent brain damage or death. Trained medical professionals perform these interventions rapidly and carefully to restore normal breathing in life-threatening situations.
